Excerpt:
"If you are a victim of sexual abuse, it can feel like a very lonely place. There is shame, secrecy, confusion, betrayal and powerlessness that have likely entered your life and that you‘ve carried with you for years. But the truth is, you are not alone. Many walk this road. In fact, there are 39 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the U.S. alone. And all can find hope and healing. This group is an excellent place to find comfort and support as you turn your heart to the Lord who said in John 16:33, ’”In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.'"

"Life Beyond the Scars is a look at the hope and peace God offers when we choose to live a life that is not controlled by the mistreatment we‘ve experienced or the fears we hold, but rather by truth, love and faith in a God who has overcome the world."
